Well, LLMs are a great example of the argument for the power of doing what "humans already do": language, however imperfect for the task, so maybe humanoid robots turn out to be the most natural way to interact with a human environment (broad strokes here, I know, but hopefully you get the gist)

Another point on this is that as you improve the robot you improve those endless tasks it can do, whereas with specialized robots improvements to that specialization are much more limited in scope. So there's a lot more incentive and value to be gained from improving the tech than there are for specialized solutions. Sike with LLMs.

A group of specialized actors with deeper singular skills, working on a task, well coordinated outperform a single actor with wider, shallower skills.

I acknowledge that the depth the group brings is at a cost higher than the single actor and it isn't always a better thing.
